Having achieved the pinnacle of success, the elderly Emma relinquishes control of her vast empire to her beloved grand-daughter Paula McGill Fairly. Though Emma asks Paula to hold her dream, she knows that the young woman must also have one of her own -- a vision that will see her through future hardship.  Devastating greed, heartbreaking betrayal and ruthless enemies will put Paula to the ultimate test, as she faces shattering losses, discovers a grand love, and strives to be all that her grandmother was... and more.

Rich with all the passion, intrigue, and emotions that made A Woman of Substance so wonderfully satisfying, Hold the Dream once again showcases the brilliance of Barbara Taylor Bradford.
